10/10 Excellent

A great stay at Wrigley Hostel for three nights. The hostel is conveniently located right next to Wrigley Field, as well as Graceland Cemetary! Facilities are great and the beds are very comfortable. The staff are very helpful but a big shout out to Ida who organised the weekly pub crawl and took the time out to show me other areas of Chicago that I would have never planned on my own. Overall a very enjoyable stay.
